Re: Photos German Aircraft

I am always happy to receive replies to my posts. However, this explicitly does not include posts from yourself.


As we see from your post on 24th december on the thread titled Allied interest


http://forum.12oclockhigh.net/showth...49458&page=292


the fact that you post links with no further information leads to serious errors on your part.The aforementioned post received in excess of 12,500 views following my notification that it was posted to the wrong board.But no need to thank me,it is the season of giving after all...


Nor is this an isolated example.Please look at the first page of that thread where Snautzer posted information for his links and consider the worth of his posts compared to the worthlessness of yours.Snautzer started an interesting thread you have ruined it with your useless posts. The decline in quality is evident at a glance.I think about what I post whereas clearly you do not.Therefore I think it completely reasonable to reject any input from you on this or any other threads I have started,not just on this board but on any and all.

Re: Photos German Aircraft

Hello,


Currently on ebay are a series of photos of German aircraft captioned as being at Posen. To my mind an interesting photo is this one of the single example of the Friedrichshafen FF 6 B.203/14


https://www.ebay.de/itm/364650493194...gAAOSwKodljpeF


and this one of the Albatros Breguet B.50/12


https://www.ebay.de/itm/364650497147...0AAOSwzmVljpjm




An Aviatik ??


https://www.ebay.de/itm/364650713425...kAAOSwnWpljsbE


DFW Mars B.84/13




https://www.ebay.de/itm/364650714190...0AAOSwZo1ljsd0


The seller has a number of other photos from the same location as well as photos from the Baltic region.

Hello,


Currently on ebay a series of photos of an LVG C.II unfortunately without distinguishing markings

The same seller has photos of a series of photos of a downed RFC F.E.2b

I'll leave identification of the machine to anyone so inclined.

Knowing my, should we say, limitations regarding German two-seaters I called upon
the help of Kees Kort whose knowledge about such things far outstrip my own feeble
trials and mostly errors anyway....
The so called Friedrichshafen FF.6 is particularly interesting, since Jack Herris is the only
author suggesting it ever existed! No German historian has anything to say about any FF.6
Checking his files Kees has come to the conclusion these photos are of an Albatros pre-war
two-seater that Albatros themselves called Militär-Doppeldecker. The Bestellnummer
was rather B.203/13 than /14

The identity of what is listed as Albatros-Breguet B.50/12 is possibly the aircraft bought by
Albatros in 1912 directly from Breguet. It should be noted that Albatros did not acquire a
license from Breguet until 1913 and it is unknown if they actually built any.
Photos published just may be the original (Renault engine) later rebuilt with an Argus one.

The Aviatik is quite correctly that and was dubbed Aviatik Schuldoppeldecker at the time.

Cheers
Stig

Re: Photos German Aircraft

Hi Stig,


You want to see limitations,check out some of my earlier problems with Albatros D types.


But thanks for your efforts in getting input from Kees. As the saying has it when the evidence changes,my opinion changes. So my spreadsheets have been amended accordingly.An interesting point about only Herris.This highlights I think the need to show sources. Unfortunately all we can see from the Aeronaut book is that the photo is from the Peter M Bowers collection.


I now Completly concur having ironically enough, checked Aeronauts Albatros vol.1 that the machine B.203 is the Militär-Doppeldecker.


Regards,


Clint

Re: Photos German Aircraft

When it comes to aircraft pre 1920 Kees is simply a Rock with his vast knowledge.

I am very happy (and honored) to get his help!

Cheers

Foreground and Euler B.I from the batch B.403/14 - B.419/14 in the background Aviatik P.14 B.148/13 possibly from FEA 10.

There is another shot of an Euler at

Having mentioned FEA 10 this LVG is from FEA 3 to judge by the marking. Confusing

There are then some shots of Aviatik B.II B.1327/15 presumably taken during the pilots operational career. As part of Armee Abteilung Gaede
